There's no such thing as "equivalent to an overdrive", if they use a direct
drive as does the stock transmission their ads are misleading. If they lock
the input and output together in top gear as does the stock tranny, that's a
1:1 ratio and is NOT an overdrive even though they advertise it as such.

Here's from Custom Chrome's site: "Every RevTech® 6-speed uses a close-ratio
2.94:1 first gear and .893:1 overdrive 6th gear" so is it an overdrive or
isn't it????
